hello!
EDIT: Dullahan from golden sun; change all your djini to standby and summon rush him.
Although it's not technically a boss fight, I found the end of red faction guerilla, where you have to fight your way up the mountain in the tank, very difficult... until I realized I could just use my jet pack to jump up the side of the mountain with no enemy resistance
I also found the last mission in GTA 4's lost and damned DLC really hard, where 4 cars filled with hitman track you down as, as soon as you find some cover to kill one lot of hitmen, another car pulls up beside you and starts shooting at you. Eventually I realized that near the start of the mission, there was a helicopter. I then flew away in the helicopter, parked on top of a building and blew up their cars with explosives. I then flew away again to get more health at the hospital, which caused the hitmen to stop following me when they reached a certain point where I then drove to and shot them.

Super Metroid: Dragoon
1. Shoot out the turrets on the walls.
2. Wait until Dragoon picks you up (make sure you're facing outward)
3. Switch to the Grappling Beam and latch onto one of the destroyed turrets as Dragoon shakes you around the room.
4. Hold there until Dragoon is electrocuted to death. It'll shave off some of your health but it annihilates Dragoon in seconds.
5. Do the happy dance.

Don't be sorry, if someone hasn't played it by now then they probably never will.Allstar309 said:Sorry, I didn't mean to spoil it.1nsignia said:Rofl nice spoilerAllstar309 said:
Metroid Fusion for GBA, there is a stair shaped wall with a recess under it leading to a door in the final boss room. You can make the boss stand/jump around on the stair wall while you stand in the recess under it shooting Wave Beams at it, since Wabe Beam goes through walls.
Definitely the ice bounty hunter in Metroid Prime 3, Rundas.
Step 1) Shoot him while he skate
Step 2) Pull the armor off
Step 3) Go into hyper mode and eliminate all his health. He dies fast enough that he can't repair his armor. One rampage in hyper mode is all it takes.
I only discovered the power of this method my third playthrough, and struggled with him otherwise. Hyper mode is just way more powerful than the creators intended.

There was also the Korean Boss guy in Crysis that you could kill by turning invisible walking behind him; and throwing a barrel at his back.
So disappointing... I mean, all the other bosses were so creative and pretty difficult to an extent. I was expecting a huge, climactic, and intense boss battle for the final boss and I didn't die once. So Capcom tried to counter it and made the Wesker battle from RE5 the most difficult thing I've ever done in a game ever. Maybe it was just me, but every time someone would join my game they were terrible and died while I was trying to punch the boulder. I died a total of 80 times on that battle.robert632 said:
Thank you! And neither is the lambent brumak from Gears of War 2. They give you a hammer of dawn and make him stand perfectly still. It's impossible to die on that level. CliffyB said himself that he wanted the end of the game to be a smooth ride and let you just relax and chill to some great visuals. Well not in those words but it wasn't meant to be a boss.run_forrest_run said:
I don't think the bosses count once the game is already beaten and some new weapons/abilities come along to help matters even more. Therefore, unlocking the fireballs in Spyro 2 and RYNO in Ratchet and Clank won't make it to my lists.
However, I always have a very easy time with Final Fantasy end bosses since they don't pose a challenge after having my characters go godmode.
But there was this guy in FFVII. Palmer, I think he was called. He was easy and hilarious in the sense that he was damn useless as a boss. Not easier than other bosses, mind, but still funnier than any other boss.
Oh, and every fight after the Hero item (or Holy War, for that matter) in FFVIII makes for trivial times. Renzokuwaza flurries incoming. What, you wanna hit me? NO.
Also, a "boss" in Pandemonium 2: I just bounced off queen Zorcha's head a few times. Didn't even need to touch the jump button. From the same game, level Stan's the Man. Use Fargus, catch the fire power-up, run into the boss, win level.
